Theme review team weekly meeting notes The logs…

Welcome to the Themes team!

We are a group of volunteers who review and approve themes submitted to be included in the official WordPress Theme directory.

We do license, security, and code quality reviews.

We help build and maintain default themes.

The primary focus of the team is to help theme authors transition to blockBlock Block is the abstract term used to describe units of markup that, composed together, form the content or layout of a webpage using the WordPress editor. The idea combines concepts of what in the past may have achieved with shortcodes, custom HTML, and embed discovery into a single consistent API and user experience.-based themes.

Points from meeting:

This is what controls the design or look and feel of a site. thanks to @samuelsidler who will look into this for the handbook. This will help with examples.

@davidakennedy and @joedolson have been hard at work with the doing_it_accessibily_wrong theme. Videos are coming really soon. This is all really exciting as means we can train sooner.
